What happened to the “next billion” internet users? They’re already online.
  • 57% of the population is already connected to mobile internet.
  • In Pakistan, Nigeria, and Mexico, the rate of new mobile internet subscriber growth is slowing.
  • The remaining populations will be harder, and more expensive, to get online.

    I saw a TMobile ad the other night offering 4 “free” iPhones and I’m like… “WTF do I need 3 extra phones for? Just give me a fair deal on ONE phone.”

        Not that I’m sticking up for T-mo, but how is that crazy? I have a grandfathered plan with discounts and it was $100 a month (taxes & fees included) for 2 people years ago, and it was the cheapest of the major carriers.
